Uchiha Massacre
Ryuu appeared beside Onoki, Gaara, and Naruto, looking around.
"What's going on?" Ryuu asked.
Gaara pointed away from them and Ryuu turned to look, eyes widening and body going numb. He had seen pictures. He had heard stories. And he had seen his family's ancestral Uchiha armor. And now, he was staring at the true Madara Uchiha, reanimated and staring back at him.
"That's...impossible," Ryuu breathed. "But then...who is...the guy in the mask?"
"We don't know, and we can't worry about that now," Gaara said. "We have to deal with this Madara before the other."
"Deal with him?" Ryuu snorted. "If the stories are true, we'll be lucky to survive him. But you're right. Naruto, you're a clone right? Where is the real one?"
"Going to intercept the other Madara," Naruto stated.
"Can you warn him that there are six reanimated Jinchuriki with that one?" Ryuu asked.
"I'll do that now," Naruto nodded, closing his eyes.
Ryuu looked back at Madara then down at himself, his shredded pants and exposed torso. Then, he unrolled a scroll, unsealing a new shirt and pants and his ANBU mask from inside it, along with the metal flak jacket Shisui had dropped when sealed. He caught his clothes, the scroll whirling around him for a moment, concealing him while he changed, then rolled itself up, landing in his hand. He had left the cloak in the scroll with the fox mask, choosing to wear the skull one instead, on account of them being in a desert, and him not wanting his cloak getting in the way.
"You really think that armor's going to change anything?" Onoki asked.
"Not one bit," Ryuu stated. "But it's better than bare skin."
Onoki nodded as Gaara's sand shot across the top of the stone pillar where Madara and a man wrapped in bandages like a mummy were standing. The man in bandages flew into the air, avoiding it, while Madara dropped to the ground. After a second, he looked up at the Allied Shinobi Forces and then stood, beginning to walk forward.
"He's coming," Ryuu growled drawing his tanto. "Things are about to get bad."
As Madara walked forward, clouds formed overhead, giving everything a dull dark look. Exceptionally fitting given what they were about to face. Then, Madara began to sprint. A battle cry spread through the Allied Shinobi and suddenly they were charging. Ryuu waited, wanting to see how Madara would fight before facing him. After a moment, Madara reached the Allied Shinobi, and the shinobi began to fly into the air, each that he hit dying from the force of the blow.
"No way," Ryuu breathed.
After a moment, Madara kicked a shinobi, clearing a space and beginning to fight as shinobi charged a handful at a time. After a moment, Madara broke one's neck almost all the way around then stepped off his shoulder, flattening another into the ground as he landed then catching a punch, slamming the shinobi into another and releasing him, throwing both away before blocking several attacks, killing the shinobi and stealing a katana. Shinobi began to charge at him and he sidestepped their attacks, slashing them as they passed. Ryuu began to sprint forward, but as he neared Madara, an explosion went off just ahead and Madara shot past, slashing several shinobi on the way. Ryuu got in front of him with the Body Flicker Technique, slashing at him but Madara landed in front of him then leapt sideways, avoiding the slash and tearing his way through the shinobi again. After a moment his sword broke, the blade spinning past Madara into another shinobi before Madara stabbed another with what was left on the hilt then caught a shinobi's arm under his own as they tried to stab him with a kunai. He turned, catching a second in his free hand then jumped as a pair of hands shot out of the ground below him, trying to catch his feet. Madara kicked both of the shinobi whose arms he had caught away, killing them before catching one of their kunai and landing, driving it down into the shinobi below him. Then, he sprinted forward, grabbing a ninjato and beginning to tear his way through the shinobi. He leapt through the air, slaughtering shinobi as he passed before landing, shattering the ground and hurling his ninjato, catching a pair of naginata and continuing on his path. Again as he landed the ground shattered and he flipped out of it, hurling the naginata and catching a katana someone had dropped. He began to slaughter his way through the shinobi again, killing anything he came to. After a moment, he picked up a corpse, using it to block several kunai before continuing, approaching a shinobi that was about to slash. He looked up, trapping the man in a genjutsu before slashing him and releasing the ninjato. It spun through the air, killing another shinobi as Madara grabbed a konoha shinobi, flipping him over his shoulder and taking a kunai from him, driving it into another shinobi's back before hurling the konoha shinobi and beginning to avoid a Kumogakure ninja's Vacuum blade for a second before smashing it aside and grabbing the ninja by the throat.
"You want to dance with me too?" Madara asked.
"Got you!" Ryuu shouted smashing both feet into the side of Madara's head and launching him out of the skeletal remains of the Allied forces.
Madara flipped, landing in a crouch and skidding to a stop before dusting off his shoulder as he stood.
"Damn," Ryuu growled. "He's so strong. I couldn't even keep up with Body Flicker."
Madara began to make hand signs before inhaling. Then, he exhaled a wall of flame bigger than the entire area covered by the Allied Shinobi Forces. Ryuu gaped at it for a second before copying the hand signs and exhaling the flames. The two walls of flame crashed into each other, the heat making everyone shield their eyes before the jutsus exploded, sending smoke and ash over the entire battlefield.
"Where is he?" someone shouted.
"You copied my Majestic Destroyer Flame," Madara's voice stated. "You're a very skilled fighter, even for Uchiha."
"There!" Someone shouted, pointing up at him as he appeared out of the smoke, massive fireballs by the hundreds appearing all around them.
"Let's see how you handle this," Madara invited.
Ryuu gaped at the fireballs, each much bigger than a human, as they began to shoot out of the smoke and blast Alliance Shinobi. Madara crashed down beside Ryuu who drew his tanto, slashing at Madara only for Madara to grab a katana from beside himself and block it. Madara shoved Ryuu's blade away, slashing at him and Ryuu ducked under it, slashing at Madara. Madara flipped over the blade and kicked Ryuu, launching him away before landing and spinning, slashing a pair of shinobi. More began to charge at him and he killed anyone that came in reach, until his sword hit a wall of sand. He ignored it, leaping away from the sand and beginning to attack more people until a kick was also blocked by sand. He began to do consecutive backward hand springs as the sand shot after him, trying to catch him. Finally he leapt into the air, the sand shooting up at him. He began to roll and flip out of the sand's path, eventually landing back on the ground again as two Naruto clones appeared over him with an enormous Rasengan.
"Massive Rasengan!" Naruto shouted.
"Earth Style, Mobile Core!" Onoki shouted, slamming his hands into the ground and making Madara shoot up into the oncoming Rasengan on a stone pillar.
After a moment of the Rasengan not exploding, however, the dust thinned enough to see Madara's Susanoo ribs holding it back. Then, the Susanoo's arm punched the Rasengan, destroying it and the Naruto clones before the now completed upper body of Madara's Susanoo roared forming a pair of chakra blades.
"Damn," Ryuu growled holding a hand to his left eye. "I still can't use Susanoo. Or can I?"
He activated his right Mangekyo Sharingan, using its power to form his Susanoo, which was smaller than Madara's. Madara watched him for a moment before his Susanoo slashed at him. Ryuu's blocked it with his drill then shoved it away, stabbing at Madara's. Madara's swept the drill aside, slashing at Ryuu. Ryuu flew higher in his Susanoo, avoiding the blade when it effortlessly carved through his Susanoo. Then, fire and wind chakra began to spin along the drill as it spun. It stabbed at Madara's, hitting it dead center of the chest. Then, Ryuu's Susanoo exploded, and he flew backward, landing on his back as Madara's Susanoo began to mow down massive groups of shinobi at a time with its swords.
"Your Susanoo is formed through genjutsu becoming reality," Madara stated. "An impressive ability. However, without your other Mangekyo Sharingan, you cannot hope to stand against me."
Just then, sand shot up around the Susanoo, attempting to bind it in place. Within a couple seconds, it broke free and formed two more swords, slashing and sending out a shock wave.
"Damn," Ryuu breathed sending his old Mangekyo Sharingan creations, a dozen of them, at Madara, who simply swept them aside with the shinobi, unfazed.
Then, Ryuu heard the a very high-pitched whine and looked back, seeing Naruto holding a Rasengan with chakra blades spinning around it. He looked back at Madara just as sand from below Madara shot up, grabbing him and pulling him out of the Susanoo where Naruto hurled his jutsu at him. However, just before impact, the jutsu stopped, being absorbed into Madara's hand.
"No way," Ryuu breathed, staring at Madara's now grey eyes with a ripple design. "He has Rinnegan?"
"What's going on?" Naruto gaped.
Madara's Susanoo fell apart and he leapt back to the pillar he had started on, there the man wrapped in bandages was waiting.
"Oh my God," Ryuu said. "He's..."
The others were talking about strategies but Ryuu had stopped listening. He was watching as Madara formed a hand seal, reforming his Susanoo, now with two sets of arms and two faces, each set of arms making a different hand seal. Ryuu thought he heard a whistle above them and looked up, sinking to his knees.
"This...is a jutsu?" Ryuu breathed putting his tanto away out of habit but remaining on his knees.
Others began to look up, dropping their weapons and several falling to their knees as Ryuu had. Above them, falling through the clouds, was a meteorite many dozens of times the size of the Hidden Leaf Village.
"Is this...the power of a God?" someone asked.
"It's too early to say it's over," Onoki stated. "Everyone get as far away from here as you can."
With that, he flew up at the meteorite. Everyone turned to run, fleeing from the inevitable as fast as they could. Ryuu stood, turning and beginning to run, stumbling over a corpse and crashing to the ground. He rolled over, staring up at the meteorite as Onoki reached it, lightening it and trying to stop it, slowly succeeding. After a moment, Gaara raised his arms, sand shooting up, forming two massive hands, holding the meteorite back, slowly stopping it. Ryuu slammed his right fist into the ground, hundreds of massive trees shooting out of the ground around him as well as the sand hands, weaving together and catching the meteorite, stopping it finally. Ryuu glanced at Madara who was watching him with interest but was still smiling despite his jutsu being stopped.
"Oh please tell me there's not..." Ryuu looked up past the meteorite and his trees with his Byakugan and his eyes widened.
Another was falling. Ryuu sank into the ground with the Attack Prevention Technique and raced through the ground away from the meteorite. Then, the second impacted on top of the first, the force blasting the sand arms, trees, and Onoki, obliterating the sand arms and trees and hurling Onoki away before both meteorites crashed down, completely obliterating everything for miles.
Ryuu stirred, opening his eyes to see Temari kneeling over him. He sat up, groaning and looked around. Everything was completely destroyed.
"Thank God you're alright," Temari sighed. "You escaped death by being inside the ground but you were still heavily wounded in the blast. Can you stand?"
Ryuu quickly healed most of the damage he had taken and stood, looking around. Off to one side was Gaara and Matsuri, both heavily wounded but Gaara more so than Matsuri, who he seemed to have shielded. On the other side, was Naruto's clone, a shinobi from Kumogakure who looked to have saved him, and Onoki, who looked to barely be alive.
"Is anyone left?" Temari asked.
Ryuu activated his Byakugan, doing a quick sweep of the area.
"Barely," Ryuu said. "A handful, most of which will likely die from their injuries. He wiped us out completely."
Temari nodded as they stood and limped over to Naruto and the others, Gaara and Matsuri following.
"You're alive," Naruto said seeing Ryuu. "Good."
"They're reforming," Ryuu stated, watching Madara and the man in bandages regenerate before Madara began to make hand signs.
Suddenly, Naruto doubled over, clutching his stomach.
"He's trying to summon the Nine-tails," Ryuu guessed pulling Naruto's shirt up, seeing the seal glowing for a moment before it faded. "Looks like the seal stopped him."
"Good," Naruto sighed, standing and turning toward Madara. "Shall we?"
Ryuu activated his Level Three Sharingan just as Madara began to make hand signs again. Then, massive trees began to form around him.
"No way," Ryuu breathed.
"Wood Style, Deep Forest Emergence!" Madara shouted.
As the trees began to move toward them, Ryuu quickly copied his hand seals.
"Wood Style, Deep Forest Emergence!" Ryuu shouted, his own trees beginning to grow and reach toward Madara, blocking Madara's and stopping both jutsus.
"Nice," Naruto said. "But, how do we fight him if he can summon meteorites on command?"
"I don't know," Ryuu said. "Hopefully he has to wait for his Rinnegan to recharge. For a while too."
"That's enough Ryuu," Onoki said pushing himself up. "I'll take over this battle from here on."
"Lord Tsuchikage you're too injured," Temari said. "You're in no condition."
"I've got a chance to reclaim myself now," Onoki said. "I've got enough energy left for that, believe me."
"I have to agree with Temari," Ryuu said. "You're not strong enough to fight him. Especially as injured as you are."
"You should listen to the Uchiha," Madara said as he landed on top of the trees before them. "He knows what he's talking about."
"That's high praise from a man that can bring meteors out of the sky for a pinpoint strike," Ryuu stated. "There's no point talking. You're going to kill us all. Or, maybe I'll get lucky and pin you to be sealed later. We'll have to wait and see."
Madara smirked in amusement then leapt off of the tree at Ryuu, the man in bandages just behind him. Then, there was a blinding light and both flew the other way. The light faded and let A and Tsunade behind, Tsunade beginning to heal wounds that covered her body.
"Lady Tsunade!" Ryuu gasped before smiling. "Thank God. Maybe now we'll be able to stand a half chance."
"No," Tsunade said. "Not you."
"What?" Ryuu blinked. "Why not?"
"You're going to go and help Naruto with the other Madara," Tsunade said. "I believe you may have someone there you need to see. Leave Madara to us. We'll handle him."
Just then, three Konoha shinobi appeared off to the left, standing around Mei Terumi.
"Seeing as everyone is still alive, I'd say we made it in time," Mei stated.
"Now I can finally let loose," A growled. "And it's about damn time too."
"I'm ready to go now as well," Tsunade stated, finished healing.
Gaara and Onoki got up, standing with the other three, Onoki floating into the air a few feet as well.
"This is perfect," Madara stated. "You all will make this test of mine truly worth while."
"I'll heal you two," Tsunade said, standing behind Gaara and Onoki, healing them. "Raikage, Mizukage, keep him busy."
A encased himself in Lightning, charging as Mei fired a wave of yellowish acid at Madara.
"Naruto," Ryuu said. "Where's the real you?"
Naruto pointed and Ryuu nodded, heading that way with the Body Flicker Technique.
Good luck all of you, Ryuu thought. You'll need it.
